How do I get a checkbox to be checked with the enter key on the key board when using the keypress control?
View 9 RepliesI am trying to add to items to a combobox by using the "enter" key. It does work when I add the first item, but if I manually clear the box and add another items it does not get added to the list.
(1) I click in the combobox and type "hello" and press the "enter" key
(2) I click on the dropdown arrow and see that "hello" is in the list
(3) I select "hello" in the box and erase it, item is still in the list
(4) I type "goodbye" in the box and press the "enter" key
(5) "hello" is still in the list but "goodbye" is not
Here is the code:
Private Sub CopyrightCombo_Keypress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles CopyrightCombo.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Return) Then
[code].....
if I comment the if/end if line and type "hello" the items added to the combobox list are: "h", "he", "hel", "hell", "hello" wich makes sens since the add items is run on every keypress? I know that my commands for adding items is good, I know that my keypress event is handled properly but not when I specify using the "enter" key.
I am using the Event Handler below for the Enter Key Press Event, it is running when ever any of the keys is pressed. This is not so much a problem when the app. is running, unnecessary yes. It is giving me problems when ever I am Debugging using Breakpoints. How can I change the Handler so it only runs when the Enter Key is Pressed, doing away with the If statement?
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Chr(Keys.Enter) Then
'Different code blocks will run here depending on what
'TextBox or Label is selected.
End If
End Sub
I have been out of VB since VB 6, but am back into it to write a basic app. I have created a listbox and am able to add data to it from a textbox via a command button. However, I want to give the user the option to simply press the enter key after they have entered the info the textbox, instead of clicking on the command button. I tried calling the function the command button is using from the "ENTER" event on the textbox, but all that does is execute the function when I click on the textbox? I'm sure this is very simple. What am I missing?
View 5 RepliesI'm building a Dialog in Winforms. It's got the two OK and Cancel buttons that are there when you create it, which is what I want. In this dialog I also have a TextBox and a Sub (coding in VB.NET) that handles its KeyPress event. I need stuff to happen when the 'Enter' key is pressed. Now, I've done such KeyPress handling times and times again. This situation, however, is different, because as soon as 'Enter' key is pressed, the dialog automatically assumes you're pressing the 'OK' button, returns a result and closes.
In both the Designer and the actual form when running the application, the OK button is highlight, which means is has some kind of a focus (for the lack of a better term) at all times. How can I disable this feature of a dialog? When I debug my code, pressing enter does not even get to the sub handling the KeyPress event. It simply closes the dialog and returns the result, therefore I can't really step through the code and see what happens behind the scenes. To restate the question, how can I disable this functionality?
move the focus to the next TextBox (don't worry about the Case 38, 58 etc too much I).
My Code:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'(Unrelated code here)
AddHandler Form1.KeyDown, AddressOf EnterkeyHandler 'Would like to understand this better

I have a Telerik Radgrid containing all the valid usernames and passwords that can be used to unlock functionnalities on my web page. The password is encrypted, so you have to click the row to decrypt and show the actual password. All usernames and passwords can be changed by an admin When the admin presses [ENTER] to submit the new username/password combination (instead of pressing the submit button), the new combination is actually submitted (which is fine).

I am trying to do an keypress event that only allows numbers, backspace, and enter. I have the part that only allows numbers
If Not (IsNumeric(e.KeyChar)) Then
e.Handled = True
End If
I need to know how to know what keychar the backspace and enter are.
I have two issues. The first is that I want to make a textbox scrolling similar to how credits scroll. I don't want it to move on the form, just to scrolling the text down a line/pixel. I thought I could do it with the "Lines" element, but I'm not exactly sure how to execute it.
The other problem is with my flash screen. Right now I have it set so when a button is click, it goes onto the main form. I don't want to use the button but rather have it so if Enter is pressed at any time, it'll go to the main form. All the solutions I've tried to use involve the "e.Keycode" code, but for some reason its unavailable.
I have a keyboard handler for my combobox1:
Private sub Combobox1_Keydown(....yaddda) handles combobox1.keydown
if e.keycode = keys.enter then
msgbox(combobox1.text)
end if
end sub
this always displays an empty message box,I need the value of the combo box before the enter was pressed, apparently the enter key empties the combobox1.text.
how can I detect if press Enter in the Textbox Change event and not in Textbox Keypress?

View 1 RepliesTrying to write a very simple game moving PictureBox2 around with keys and when it passes over another object such as PictureBox1 the score is incremented and then PictureBox1 is disabled/removed. Problem is that it disappears but every time you pass over that area it still increments the score further as if the object was there still.
Here is current code, but have also tried hide, dispose and Controls.remove with no luck.
If PictureBox2.Bounds.IntersectsWith(PictureBox1.Bounds) Then
score = score + 1
Label1.Text = score
PictureBox1.Enabled = False
PictureBox1.Visible = False
In my .NET porject, I have to run a lot of validation on 4/5 fields. This validation checks if certain fields have errors, for example: the name field is not allowed to have numbers or symbols. If all these checks are passed, I need to execute a SQL query to pull some data out of the database. I could have it with a lot of nested IFs, and run the function at the end once it passes them all, but this will translate into about 12 nested IFs, and it seems a really bulky way to do it. I have also thought about setting a boolean value after every check, and if the value is 1 then don't run the function, else do. But of course this gets overwritten by other checks that pass.
View 2 RepliesI have some experience developing for VBA inside Office apps, but I am quite new to VB.NET, and I just noticed that its WebBrowser control is a bit different from that one I used to reference via ShDocVw to use in my VBA Forms.ShDocVw.WebBrowser had the DocumentComplete event, which passed these arguments: URL as string and pDisp as object..NET WebBrowser has the DocumentCompleted event, in which i successfully found e.URL.ToString, but I couldn't find nothing similar to the pDisp object.
This is critical to me on migrating my project from VBA to VB.NET, for I need to handle particular IFrames when they complete loading, which I only could do by getting pDisp's document property. So I need help on learning how to do the same thing with this .NET WebBrowser control, and/or how to reference and use good ole ShDocVw.WebBroser in my Visual Studio project, to embed it in my forms.

I am building an application that needs to store different time of day values in dateTime fields of an Access database.I am trying to enter the time value's via a DataGridView using TextBoxColomn s.The coloms are formatted with the defaultCellStyle property to show only the time part of the datetime.After i save the entered data and look in the database itself, i see not only the time, but also the (current) date in the datetimefields. This raises a problem when i want to compare the timevalues later on in the functionality of the program i am building.(Of course it is simple to seperate the date and time part in coding of the program, but it would be more elegant (i think) if i could just save only the time part in the database (and have the date part of de datetimes left to 0))I have tryed via the CellFormatting and the CellParsing events, but no luck.I am new to visual basic and probebly missing out on something.

If they are Company B, then the same thing but with a different website. I do not know the term for this, so the google results are not very pretty.I can not do this with a query string (not that I'd want to anyway) as I do not want the username/pw to be visible.Here is the other weird thing. This can be done via a simple HTML <FORM> and Submit button as I have tested it. But I want to do it all in VB.NET code. How is it that it is possible with some simple HTML but not possible in VB.NET? I guess it could be a security thing, right?

View 5 Replieswhere I am starting another thread which opens a form. Succinctly, it is an animated "Please wait.. processing" type of form. The issue is that I want to make this form a child form of the parent (main thread or main GUI) when I open it.The issue is that I prefer to use frmProcessing.ShowDialog(frmMain) instead of just frmProcessing.Show, because of form disappearing issues. It, of course, gives me an error of illegal cross thread operation. My question is, how do I perform frmProcessing.ShowDialog(frmMain) to show from within another thread, that the newly opened form is actually a child of the main thread. Is there a better way for me to make a small processing form telling the user to be patient while background processes are working? [code]
